Morning all

I'm being a slug today. even considering a nap if the hound dog even quits barking~

Otherwise it's scrapping if I feel like being upright or reading a book in my comfy bed.

Should probably give the boys a prep list for battening down stuff, we are in serve thunderstorm area for this pm and evening.

Have a great day all
 
change in our plans...going to my mom's friend tomorrow, so will have to figure out something to occupy the girls today, maybe a mall run and lunch out!
 
we are now under a tornado watch until 10 pm!! so battening down hatches got moved up by 4 hours. I think the bulk of it is done but now to wound up to nap or scrap. I HATE these things I live in VT for a reason we aren't supposed to get them!!!!!!!!! I'll take a blizzard to this anyday. Those I know how to prep for

Happy Weekend!

DH and I went out to breakfast, stopped by Total Wine for a few bottles and then to the grocery. DH is now parked on the couch watching college football while I'm in my scrapbook room/office. I'll go and join him around 3:30 when BAMA hits the field :).

I think I agree with Christy and shall declare the rest of the weekend
"Slugfest 2012"....:rotfl:

Have a good one!
Becky
 
Christy, stay safe and lazy :)

Hope everyone has a great day.

I've been up for a while, just slow going.

Got my folder project done for the kitchen wall, now all the kids have a folder to put important school stuff so its all in one spot. now to train them to use it.

Going to start scrapping here in just a few mins.

DBF is going out tonight, I think I will stay home.

Tomorrow pick up DD's and take DD#2 to Cheer pictures. Hopefully the coach will get the email out about buying their bows, the ones she handed out last night are awful!
 
Stay safe Christy and Buffy... Buffy texted and said they are under the tornado warning too... she was taken everything in when we spoke..

It got a little bumpy here last night but nothing we hadn't been through before.. had a bit of limbs down and a flower pot over turned...but no major damage..

We are watching Notre Dame play now... need to go pull the IU schedule next...
 
Ooof, I'm exhausted! We did the corn maze. First time for us. Not sure if we'd go again. We had fun, but it was somewhat claustrophobic, and they didn't give any clues or a map of any sort, so it was a lot of wandering around confused :lmao:

DH has gone to visit his parents, we're having leftover lasagna for dinner when he gets home. We did all our errands today, I have no intention of leaving the house tomorrow. Gotta get in on Slugfest 2012 :)

My new Kuerig has arrived. I've got it set up and put it through a test run. We'll really try it out tomorrow, it's far too late for any caffeine!

Have a good weekend, all!
 
Christy and Buffy stay safe!

Jennifer, corn mazes can be confusing! We are trying a smaller one this year!

We are under severe thunderstorm watch in eastern MA. Skies are getting dark but no thunder or lightening yet. Should probably make dinner before it starts.

I have been working on the partner swap all day, guess I got engrossed in what I was doing and wasn't paying attention to anything.
 
Hope everyone with tornado warnings stayed safe.


This has been a crazy weekend so far:
Friday I had my last day of full time work (yeah for more time boo for less money coming in) then we headed up to Orlando to pick up my brother and his family and head over to a rehearsal dinner for a cousin.
Saturday- hung out at DTD with brother and family and then headed over to the wedding- got home at about 11:30pm last night
Today: DH is preaching at a church in town and we have to leave at 7:30 to get to the 2 services and then we come home pick up the dogs, and have to be at the church by 2pm for a wedding DH is performing and I am photographing at 3pm after that we will be collapsing

I have to start editing the book I am writing tomorrow- one of the big things that we have to change is adding in quotes from girls that are 8-12 years old. If anyone has a daughter willing to answer a few questions in exchange for a free copy of the book- let me know and I will put you on the list to contact once we have our questions chosen out.

Rebecca
 
Rebecca, I've got a troop of 9 girls who I'm sure would be happy to help :) Good luck with your editing!

Slugfest 2012 has officially begun in my house. Got my coffee made, and I'm going to break out the Cricut(s) in a few! Happy Sunday, all!
 
morning all

powers back on! we all went to bed early after playing a few games by coleman lantern! While I don't mind short outages I hate digging out the generator and hooking up the house to it.

It got bad for abt 1 hour then just rain, which we despartely need. I took a few pics of the sky and rain moving in, then I had to build a tarp shelter for Tyke and his mommy. I thought tom had moved the fence so they could get in the barn but he hadn't. So I was a total drowned rat and no power to clean up with.

I hope to continue with slugfest but with Tom home I have a feeling it will be interupted multiple times.

Rebecca I'll be wishin for 3pm for you
Jen enjoy the day with the cricuts
 
hope everyone is safe and sound from the crazy weather yesterday!!


megan spent the night at her BFF and I did NOTHING, just watched a movie!

picking her up at 9, heading to my mom's then her friends to help out, not sure when we will be home.

Rebecca, Megan can help you out too if you'd like!
 
Woot for the quiet night!

DBF went out to Seattle, so when I finished my pages, DD#1 and I watched Breaking Dawn part 1...finally. Then I unpacked a few boxes and got stuff put away. Even a box that had been packed since 2009 :cool1:
 
Rachal, when you get your unpacking done will you come do mine? I have boxesvdownstairs that I packed in 1998.:faint: There are only a few left, and since Josh wants his room down there he is nagging me to go through them.;)
